Shia LaBeouf is ready to take on Wall Street. After more than a month of talks, the actor has officially signed on to star in Money Never Sleeps, the follow-up film to the 1987 hit Wall Street, the Associated Press reports.

The Transformers star will appear alongside Michael Douglas, who won an Academy Award for his role in the original. Filming begins in August, and LaBeouf has said he imagines it will feel like taking a college course in finance, a topic he admitted to having "no concept" of as an actor.
